Friends of Humanity

Wow, I like angst. @.@ I drew this out of my head - don't think there's gonna be a fic for it anytime soon. But if anything bothered me in X-men Evolution, it's that the Brotherhood were left completely on their own. The X-Men were always there in the nick of time to rescue anyone *useful* who might need rescuing, but if a Brotherhood boy were say, attacked by the F.O.H., they were probably on their own. This is what I wished had happened in the show.
A few X-men in civilian gear happen to come across a fight in which one of the Brotherhood are outnumbered, and go help him. Afterwards, they realize that they shouldn't just wait until the boys come crawling for aid, they should actually show the kids that they give a damn. The X-men are safe in their mansion, but all the B-hood have is that run-down Victorian house, their own powers, and a thin promise of protection from Magneto. If Xavier actually gave them another offer of friendship I think they'd take it. Especially after season 4, with the anti-mutant attitude going on. Too bad the series ended way before that could happen. :/
